15 Min	2 Man Game Drill Divide your team into two color groups, have two lines 10 feet above the box line. Put a goalie in the net. 4 total players come out, 2 from each line, 1 group is offense the other is defense. Players rotate within their own group The play starts when one guy passes to the next Try to get on different planes before setting the pick a low guy should be at a 45 degree angle Guy with the ball goes down low and wide, passes to the other guy in the middle, goes and sets pick The goal of the drill is to have the two offensive players set picks and rolls for each other Player receiving the ball stutters before the pick runs off the pick and towards the goal, looking at the slip man Guy setting the pick (slip man) turns into the shooter and mirrors him Run with the shooter shooting, and then run passing to the slip man in the pick and roll Variation: Work on a pass down pick down Variation: Slip man can replace the guy driving or can set a re-pick Defense: Work on talking, calling out picks (left or right), forcing a man to one side of the field, and calling switches
